    Biden is going to get destroyed in the debates and in the wider campaign.


    It's going to be car crash viewing given we're going to see Trump roast a guy that very much appears to be in the early stages of alzheimers.



    They are going to have to have a very strong Vice President candidate to even stand a chance.
    I think that the anti trump folk have a decent chance of making it a really close run thing

    Totally agree though, having two people in their 70s without their mental faculties fully intact for one reason or another in a country of 328m people is lunacy

    There’s a lot I dislike about America but there’s also a lot that I love.

    328m people - within that number, can they not find people more appropriate than this pair to lead them?

    America has a rich pool of talent, charisma and intellect. I just cannot accept that there isn’t a more suitable presidential candidate out there and can only conclude that their system is broken.

    Said it a couple of times on this thread and I think, if he wants it, Andrew Cuomo can run from the floor of the convention. It won’t be easy but there is a window for him and no one else. He seems ambivalent about it though.

    I really hope Kamala Harris gets the VP nomination. Apart from the fact she is smart and qualified, a black woman on the ticket - first female VP, first black VP - she makes Trump and Pence look very old, white and male. Unfortunately that ticket plays well in the non-coastal states.

    My ideal ticket would have been a combination of Beto O’Rourke and Kamala Harris, probably with Harris as lead. Harris would make Trump look even worse than he manages to make himself look. Beto makes Texas a possibility for the Democrats which is a game changer.

    He'll get a second term. Probably comfortably as well.

    His approval rating has gone down in recent weeks but I would agree, it's highly unusual for a US President not to get a second term.

    The last time it happened was in 1993 when George Bush Snr failed to get re-elected.

    I would be surprised if Trump doesn't win the upcoming election.

    This certainly won’t do Trump’s re-election hopes any harm

    He appears to be trying to initiate some kind of conflict with Iran or China to deflect from his handling of the covid crisis. The guy is a horrible, nasty piece of work.

    It is amazing that just when you think he can't be any more of a dangerous egomaniacal complete ****wit of a man, he manages to raise the bar yet again in his skills as a leader of people...am working out which toilet duck to inject and trying to work out whether to swallow my torch or shove a lighbulb up my backside based on current presidential advice...

    "And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?

    "So it'd be interesting to check that."

    Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what."

    Added to that is the fact that the drug he was pushing not too long ago had now undergone a (small) study which actually showed that deaths increased when using the drug. Now it was a very small study and very small sample size, but the guy is incredibly dangerous. The press can't even challenge him on it because he just replied "fake news" and his supporters lap it up. I've an American friend on Facebook who supports Trump and who constantly posts things telling people to stop reading mainstream press, open up their minds and stop being fed the lies that the fake news media are giving them.

    What is really crushingly depressing is the realisation that the first leader Johnson deemed it appropriate to call as he recovered from the virus was this certifiable cretin Trump. The UK Government ignores offers of assistance from our nearest neighbours in the EU, and yet calls Trump. God save us from our Government.

    I've gotten to the point where I don't feel I can post on, or comment on anything he says anymore, lest I be banned from all future entry to the USA (or visited by the Secret Service).

    There's only one place in the USA that needs 'liberated', and it sits just off Pennsylvania Avenue.

    Bonkers or not Trump still leads the worlds biggest economy. It’s actions still impact the rest of the world disproportionately. It would therefore seem entirely relevant for Johnson to call him. He was also quoted as having discussions with other world leaders. But assuming Trump was the first on the list who do you think should have been there instead and why?

    As for the EU PPE scheme...well that’s be a total mess for sure from the government but I suppose there is some solace in the fact that the scheme itself has allegedly still not delivered a single item of PPE to anyone!

    Re the topic in hand...typical Trump...thinks his brain is bigger than everyone else’s combined and only he could think up a stunning medical advance and approach on the fly that outsmarts all the medical minds of the world instantly.

    Too many people are allowing Trump to get away with this stuff. We shouldn't be saying "bonkers or not", we should be calling it out. Johnson should not be speaking to the US until they sort out the madman at the top. Look at the face of the US equivalent CMO, sitting there biting her tongue while her boss talks about UV light and disinfectant. Call him out, he's a danger to the world.

    Jeez, bleaching hasn't really worked on his hair or general strange orangey colour and now he's talking about the merits of injecting it.

    I guess his supporters won't be queuing up for this one

    In terms of helping our immune system, he's not far wrong in suggesting we get more sunshine or Vitamin D supplements.
    I have extended my usual supplements longer into the Spring than I would normally .

    But not as a ****ing cure.

    Have you seen Joe Biden? This won't be an easy win for them at all.

    Can we all have a whip round and Trump taken out? Even old Dr Mrs Anne Budge would be an improvement....

    If you listen to what he said - he is thinking out loud (maybe he shouldn't be doing that in his position) - 'blue skying' maybe over a possible solution. I don't think he is suggesting everyone chugs down some domestos.

    You’re the president of the most powerful country in the world. You do not think out loud on a cure for a deadly disease during a pandemic especially when your supporters are so obviously easily influenced.

    Anything short of complete condemnation for his comments are absurd.

    Maybe he shouldn't?

    The man's the President of the USA, in the middle of a global health crisis and he's suggesting to people that there may be some merit in them injecting themselves with the American equivalent of Dettol.

    There are millions of people who hang onto his every word, he has a huge responsibility to speak in a responsible and rational way when addressing the public.

    Coming out and suggesting that people injecting themselves with disinfectant may help to protect them from this virus isn't just medically wrong, it's also potentially lethal. Whilst the majority of people who are of sound mind will dismiss this as nonsense, there will no doubt be people desperate enough that they will be tempted to try this.

    "Thinking out loud" moments are for a couple of guys down the pub chatting amongst themselves, not for the most powerful man on the planet to do during an address to the nation, that's being broadcast worldwide.

    He wasn't thinking out loud. That would require him to be able to think. FAKE NEWS.

    Of the 328m people in the USA, I wonder how many of them are actually less suited to the role of president than Trump?
